Making Games… the mad way

As a christmas present for you, the Community Patch Team and Nordic Games have released the latest and final version 2.01 of the game.
Of course we would also like to offer you a download mirror from Mad Vulture Games. Get the patch here:

Thanks a lot guys . You did a great work . Even if now i can’t spend the entire day plaiyng on PC as when I was a child , I still consider Gothic a part of my life and your great patch made me to reinstall the game just to see the result of your work . I’m happy to see that there sill exists someone to bring Gothic back to life in this age of mindless PC games . Gothic 4eVer . And all the best to Mad Vulture Team . Good luck in all your coming projects .

Thank you, for all the hard work you did! At least forsaken gods can be called a game that bears the title ‘Gothic’ with pride and dignity! The new graphics and gameplay redesign are awesome. Best of luck to all your future endeavors!

Than you guys very much for making G3:FG playable, the patch 2.0 was a hit and the game really needed it. I have only one major issue with the recent patch 2.01 – mainly the game slows down, every character in the game and the main hero moves as if the air was made of some sort of gelly. Please look into this matter if you still have the time and energy for G3:FG. As for my PC, well it is brand new with 4 gigs of ram, double core CPU and Radeon HD 5670 1 gb graphic card, so it should do just fine. I’m not sure how many people there are with the same problem, but I hope that there will be soon some way of overcoming or solving it.

Thanks a lot for the nice words. We hope you enjoy the game!
Talking of your problem: Although I would not call your system brand new, yet it should be capable of running the game at highest settings without any problem. I don’t know any solution for this by heart, therefore I recommend to have a look into the boards over at Nordic or World of Gothic and see if there’s a solution for this issue. If not, feel free to create a new thread over there, people are very helpful and always trying to find the solution. Here are the links:

Did you use any Download Managers/Accelerators or alike? If so please try to disable it before starting the download.

You can also try to use a tool like WinMD5 (free) to compare the checksum of the downloaded file with the checksum provided just below the download link. These checksums should match, if they don’t then your download was corrupted.

Just tested this myself and downloaded the patch again. Installer works fine and also the checksum matches.

Another reason might be a drive failure. In that case you should check and repair the file system (through running chkdsk tool on Windows).
